Coming home tonight I'm sitting in the left turn lane at a red light in a little town. I get the arrow and start to enter the intersection. I look left and hit the brakes. A woman in a Trailblazer coming from my left just sails across the intersection in front of me like she never saw the light and it was red for at least 10 seconds. Another woman in a car across the intersection has her hand over her mouth like she screamed. The bad part is the Trailblazer just kept going; I bet she still doesn't know what she did.

I've had that same thing happen to me, #!@HELLO*$!, did you
happen to notice the red light you just day dreamed right
through?
I've avoided quite a few accidents by paying attention to
other drivers who are less than aware of what's going on
around them.
Do-de-do-de-do...

That's how people here actually drive. They follow the rules, but do not pay attention if other drivers are making a mistake. Everyone here EXPECTS the other driver to be following the rules. So nobody drives defensively. Don't even know if that term exists here. People walk blindly across crosswalks because they 'know' they have the right of way. Don't even care if the car doesn't see them or something. I always make jokes about it and still look at the driver before I cross the street. Sorry, me verse a 2500lb car... guess who loses.


I just find I am so much of a better driver because I don't assume anything of others. Other then the worse.

Take a safety course for motorcycle riders and then just find out how much more you look at how others drive.

Well I was finally able to have a look at the video. I think the PT light may have been green, look above the red car in the right lane at the oncoming traffic, I am not sure if it is a traffic light.

Either way, the SUV would have come close to the dude anyway.

I am amazed how easily the SUV flipped over too. And how little damage there was to the PT.

I love Adobe premiere.
